Part 1 Of 2 come true
指愿望实现,预言成真,不可用于被动语态

①三个词都可以作名词，cause是自然造成某种结果的原因；reason指在事实的基础上通过逻辑判断出来的理由，常与for短语连用；excuse表示“辩解，借口”，指为某一行为所做的解释，可以是真的，也可以是托词。 make up an excuse 编造一个借口 Too much work is no excuse for not studying. 工作太多并不是不学习的借口。 Heart trouble is one of the most serious causes of death among old people. 心脏病是导致老年人死亡的最重要的原因之一。(不用reason) The reason (why) I was absent yesterday is that I was sick. 我昨天缺席的原因是我生病了。(不用cause) We have no reason to disbelieve him. 我们没有理由不相信他。(不用cause) ②cause可用作动词，cause trouble to/for people＝cause people trouble表示“给人带来麻烦”， cause the patient much pain(使病人感到疼痛)，也可用 cause sb. to do这一结构。 The drought caused the vegetable prices to go up. 干旱使得蔬菜价格上涨。 ③reason可以作动词，意为“推理，推论，评理，劝说”。 1. 起火的原因是不谨慎。 The ________ of the fire was carelessness. 2. 那些植物死于何种原因？ What ________ the plants ________ die? 3. 我的电脑给我带来很多麻烦。 My computer has ________________________________________________________________________. 4. 我迟到的原因是误了车。 ________________ I'm late is that I missed the bus.
